Artist Biography
Baltimore-based and self-taught as an artist, Ram Brisueño works with collage. His degree is in English from UMBC. In his work, flowers bloom from, out of, and surrounding human figures, representing the halo like presence of our best and intended selves. Enveloped who we dream into being, our divinity and connection with nature and our own humanity, we are reminded we are part of more than just ourselves. We can be beautiful, weird, different… it’s all a wonderful and joyous part of our journey. With the hard work and trust in our nature, the time we put into our lives, we can grow into what we dream.
The blossom-being selves work on the chaos around us, engaging the power of creation that exists in all of us, allowing us to become more aware of our shared beauty and radiant humanity. In these moments, we allow ourselves to be any and everything our true selves require.
Using mixed media materials, Ram creates images that combine nature, social issues, and the human figure with intuitive color, shape and form, often in moments of all important transformation and myth making — one senses the blossom petals fall in undying gardens. His work has been exhibited in collections, galleries, and museums through the region.
